To if wlmi/r it may concern.'

lie it known that I, DAVID Cinninnus. a citizen ol the United Stat-es, residing at Portland. in the county ot Multnomah and State ot' Oregon, have invented a new and uset'ul Iuiilirovenient in llydroearhon-liurn ers, of which the Afollowing; .is a speeilication, reference being had to the acciiuuianying drawings.

My invention rel tes class oit devices used t'or `egeneratinh` ana. burning `rases in furnaces and stoves for fuel purposes.

The ohjeet ot my invention is to provide an apparatus similar to that described in Letters Patent No. 1.041333, heretofore issued to ine on Deceinher l?. 19.12, 'tor an iniproreinent in hydrocarhon-hurners. and particularliV tor improvements upon the device descrihed in nii' said patent. l* now propose to rhanpje the 'forni ot' the retort h v suhstiuiting a pipe and also to change the mixing chainher, 'l attain these objects as well as other adranta ges. hy the construction, eonihiuatiou and arraniafinent ot parts illustrated in the accompanying; d'awing's which torni a part. hereof.

Figure l a sectional elevation ot the fle rice long'itiulinally thereof shown as nrrainged in a stove. Fig. '2 is a. plan View ol" the device. Fig. 3 a sectional View on the lines ll--' ot Fig. l. Fig. Ll is a sectional View on the lines 'l il of Fin'. l.

Like numerals or letters refer to like parts throughout the. views.

.Si .i pipe retort ot rectangular torni. lt has a vertical part which is connected with a pipe 5 leading iroin a source ot oil.` gasolene or distillate. supply. lt is removable troni the pipe` 5 hy the union nut il. rl"he pipe A extends upward tor a suitable height troni its connection with the tuel pipe ,Frein this point. it extends horizontally in courses until it tornis a rectangular shape. The outer end is closed and in its lower side near the end is a discharge opening` 7.

B is a 'traine into which the pipe extends and it `is provided with supports S8 upon which the horizontal parts ot the pipe A rest.

C is a cylindrical mixing chainloei` threaded on its upper end and having an opening` E) near the saine. ot a diameter to allow the end ot' the pipe A to pass through. the lower part et the chamber C. a 'vertical conveying tube l0, open at both ends, is rigidly secured. The retort opening T is the torni of f over the center ol."u tube 1 0, and the lower end ot' the latter does not extend quite flush with the lower end of the chamber C. is also space about it in the elianiber.

l) is an air supply pipe which has its vertical part inserted into a socket and is supported therein hy the traineBat one side of the support 8. A sinall section t3 oit thread? v is placed in the 'traine toengage the ed pipe supply pipe l) and hold sition. This section is with means furnishing without the furnace or it in the desired pointended to connect an air `supply troni storepI This pipe is curved and extends downwardl within the lranie I. Its upper end -and threaded within chainher (l is therecentral part of the is turned down w a rdl)r and the upper end ot the in rigidly secured at a height to passage olf the retort pipe A into the chainher (l and so that the pipe A may resterenly upon the supports SMS. ,fr sniall lire bed 11 is rgiidltr secured upon the ,traine B below the rhaniher C. supply pipe lt will now he seen that when this device is set up within the fire hex of a iuriiaee or stove of the ordinary type, a sin-all quantity rt liquid intlainniable inaterial is placed on the lire hed ll and ignited. This burns until the pipe il has heen heated sutliciently. T he noch 1L* then opened and a flow of' distillate or gras produeiiniV fluid allowed to ilow The under pressure into the heated pipe. liquid instantly furnis a gas whieli is torced There p allow" the il cock is placed iii them downward through the tuhe 11.0 where itinixes with air supplied through the pipe D alongside the tube in the chamber C. This is ignited it'roin below and the tlanies thereotI spread downward and outward as indicated hy the arrows. 'I hcreai'ter the saine flanies troep the pipe heated so that it provides a` :ontinuoua llow oi' gas as it iiiixes witlithe air supply. and ol a consistency to malte a suitable combustible tiuid. The flame thus created is cireular and h5 regulating the suppl y. hy means oit' the cock 19., the desired in tensit)T ot heat can he maintained.

lft will he further seen that the device may he assembled by first installing' the :traine rigidi)y within a furnace or store, with the pipe 5 attached and extending: to a source of :li'uel supply. The chamber t) is attached to the pipe D as shown. The retort A is Secured in position hy the union nut G. The pipe l) is then set into its socket and swung around so as to receive the end ot the retort iio A in the opening 9. It is also practicable to assemble the retort A, the chamber C and pipe D in position as illustrated in Fig 1 and then drop the whole into operating position and secure the device there by means of the nut 6.

It is likewise apparent that the retort being a pipe and easily removable from the remainder of the apparatus, a new retort can be quickly and cheaply substituted. This is a decided advantage over my previous device because a chief trouble with gas burners .is that they carbonize within, and cleaning or substitution is too expensive to make them economical or satisfactory in operation.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

l. A hydro-carbon Iburner comprising a rectangular pipe retort horizontally disposed, having one end connected with a' source of fuel supp-ly, its free end closed and a vertical discharge opening in the lower side of the retort near said closed end, an air pipe having its`lomr end connected with a source of air supply, its upper end opening downward over the free end of the retort, and a vertical cylindrical' mixing chamber `having its upper end rigidly secured in the upper end of the air pipe, also having. an 'openingnear the upper end in its side and receiving the free end of the retort through the same, also being provided with a vertical tube oi less diameter rigidly secured within the lower part of the chamber with space around it and being alined with the retort discharge opening above it, substanper end opening downward over the free end of the retort, a vertical cylindrical mixing near said closed chamber having` its upper end rigidly secured in the upper end of the air pipe, also having an opening near the upper end in its' side and receiving the free end of the retort l through the same, also being provided with a vertical tube of less diameter rigidly s ecured within the lower partof the chamber with space around it andv being alined with the` retort discharge opening above it, a frame to support said parts in operative position, and means to regulate the fuel supply, substantially as describedr Divin-CHAMBERS.
